GATT GamerX: It's been about 12 hours since the Wii U has come out, and already people are spreading false rumors. Want to know the truth about ports and graphics? Read On.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Yes a bit like the suspiciously slow memory speeds that are being reported, with no concrete evidence apart from opening the console, and if i am correct i dont think they print the speeds on embedded chips do they?
The memory speed currently estimated at 17gb I think is without them including eDRAM or anything. Running a modified DX10, the bandwidth is greater than 17gb, but they are going based off the DDR3 ram only at the minute, again creating another rumor. People would actually need to test everything in order to see the full bandwitdh which is estimated at over 30gb/s
dat 1st batman comparison...
didn't even knew you could downgrade the graphics that much!
the batman pic came from GT's Comparison video

probably just due to limited time the developers had to port the game and the clip is just probably a very small area of the game but I have to say that I believe it is the Wii U version, cause last I checked, my PC version of Batman doesn't have a screen on his glove, nor do I believe a mod exist yet with it.
Really don't know whether to keep my preorder active. All the fud being spread doesn't help either.
If the WiiU is only equal to current gen, then I may cancel as I don't see much point in rushing to get one when I already own a 360 and a PS3 plus a Wii and 3DS for my Mario fix.
I'm gonna have to wait for a real teardown on the system. Just hope it happens before release day.
As of now, I'm taking the ram speed rumour as a just that, a rumour. Not believing this article either seen as the AC comparison came from gametrailers, so it's hardly fake.
